##IRC in real life – This is an event for the community and by the community with a format similar to BarCamp. Sessions are being proposed now on topics such as: Pentaho and Big Data, in-depth look at CTools, Hands on with the PDI SDK, Mondrian 4.0 BETA, the Antonius Project, and much more. Click here if you would like to propose a talk or just follow along.

It’s in Amsterdam – I personally know it’s sometimes hard to pull away from the computer but the weekend is not just content packed but there also is plenty of time scheduled for fun including drinks and dinners at hot spots in downtown Amsterdam and a cruise down the canal.

Pentaho has a deep appreciation of its open source roots and would like to thank all its community members for their on going participation into making Pentaho Business Analytics the best product it can be. Additionally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the coordinators of this years community gathering: Jos van Dogen and Aly van Zalk.
